It's a pretty interesting approach, i've looked at it some time ago.
The code is really small (0,5k for the forth core), but it's coded
in assembler for each of the supported platforms. 
TOF has some differences to IEEE 1275-1994, mainly it has less words
and different tokens.
TOF is Public Domain, so we can probably get one or another hint from
the code, if it helps...
